A penetrating study of normal people resisting the Nazi profession - and, true to its title, a dark funny of wartime manners - Funny in a Minor Key tells the storyline of Wim and Marie, a Dutch couple who first conceal a Jew they know as Nico, then must dispose of his body when he dies of pneumonia. This novella, first published in 1947 and now translated into British for the first time, shows Hans Keilson at his best: deeply ironic, penetrating, sympathetic, and brilliantly modern, an heir to Joseph Roth and Franz Kafka. In 2008, when Keilson received Germany's prestigious Welt Books Award, the citation praised his improve exploring "the damaging impulse at the job in the twentieth century, right down to its deepest subconscious and spiritual ramifications." Printed to celebrate Keilson's hundredth birthday, Funny in a Minor Key - and The Loss of life of the Adversary, reissued in paperback - will create American viewers and listeners to a overlooked classic publisher, a witness to World Warfare II, and a advanced storyteller whose literature stay as fresh as when they first came up to light.
